Editor at Christian Post Forced to Resign After Disagreement Over Publication’s Support of President Trump

Napp Nazworth was an editor at the Christian Post. After the publication published an editorial supporting President Trump, Mr. Nazworth declared his disagreement with the publication of the editorial supporting President Trump. He was then forced to resign and turned to Twitter to tell his story:

Announcement: Today, rather abruptly, I was forced to make the difficult choice to leave The Christian Post. They decided to publish an editorial that positions them on Team Trump. I can't be an editor for a publication with that editorial voice. …

As long as I was with the company, they strived to be a place that represented the diversity of evangelicalism in the US. I even wrote about this diversity in the last published article I wrote on Sunday. …

… it's bad for Democracy, and bad for the Gospel. It means there will be one more place where readers can go for bias confirmation, but one less place where readers can go to exercise their brains on diversity of thought. {end}

The Christian Post has not responded to Mr. Nazworth’s statements about his no longer working for them and while one would hope that he was not fired for his political views, working for a Christian organization should hold a higher standard than working for a secular one.
